Erie police said a man driving a two-door silver sports car was westbound on West Fifth Street between Walnut and Cherry streets when he hit a parked car at about 10 p.m. The unidentified man's car then flipped over on the street, and the parked car collided with a utility pole.

The man was trapped in the car after the accident and had to be extricated by firefighters. He was taken by ambulance to UPMC Hamot with injuries police did not believe were life-threatening.

Police said it was unclear how fast the car was traveling when the crash occurred.
